The dumbest blog I have seen in a long time

Did anyone catch this blog from some asshole named George Bretherton at the NY Times? Basically, he claims that Reed tried to hurt Chris Johnson after he was gashing us for yards. Then, he says the accusation is "nothing new" after Mendenhall was injured in the first game.

I don't remember anyone calling the hit on Mendenhall that broke his shoulder "dirty." Ray hit him clean on an angle. What the hell is this guy talking about? During the play in question, Chris Johnson was fighting for more yards, and Reed was fighting to stop that. I don't see the intent to injure there. It's football, people get hurt. Not to mention Chris Johnson did have a 10 yard run after that, the sprain could have happened there. This guy is an idiot.

People forget that Chris Johnson played and played well, after that Ed Reed bending him backwards

Re: The dumbest blog I have seen in a long time

It never cease to amaze me the hate that some idiots have for the Ravens,all because of our "image" in some circles.

I wonder if the writer actually read what he wrote,specifically....

That was when the sequence in question occurred: Johnson’s forward momentum was being stopped by linebackers Lewis and Terrell Suggs — and right before the whistle blew ending the play — safety Ed Reed jumped into the scrum and grabbed Johnson by his upper body, preventing him from falling to the turf.

You play to the whistle,and if it DIDNT blow,Ed has every right to stop the ball carrier by whatever means necessary.
